Judges 11:9 in Context — Judges 11
7 E Jefté respondeu aos anciãos de Gileade: Não me odiastes, e me lançastes da casa de meu pai? por que pois vindes agora a mim quando estais em aflição?
8 E os anciãos de Gileade responderam a Jefté: Por esta mesma causa voltamos agora a ti, para que venhas conosco, e lutes contra os filhos de Amom, e nos sejas cabeça a todos os que moramos em Gileade.
9 Jefté então disse aos anciãos de Gileade: Se me fazeis voltar para que lute contra os filhos de Amom, e o SENHOR os entregar diante de mim, serei eu vossa cabeça?
10 E os anciãos de Gileade responderam a Jefté: O SENHOR ouça entre nós, se não fizermos como tu dizes.
11 Então Jefté veio com os anciãos de Gileade, e o povo o elegeu por seu cabeça e príncipe; e Jefté falou todas seus palavras diante do SENHOR em Mispá.
